WARNING

Hazardous voltages may be present when covers are removed. Qualified personnel must use extreme caution when servicing this equipment. Circuit boards, test points, and output voltages also may be floating above (below) chassis ground.

WARNING

The equipment used contains ESD sensitive ports. When installing equipment, follow ESD Safety Procedures. Electrostatic discharges might cause damage to the equipment.

Important Safety Instructions

Before applying power to the system, verify that your product is configured properly for your particular application.

Only qualified personnel who deal with attendant hazards in power supplies, are allowed to perform installation and servicing.

Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the Power Rack input connector or chassis. Similarly, other power ground lines including those to application and maintenance equipment must be grounded properly for both personnel and equipment safety.

Always ensure that facility AC input power is de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting any cable.

In normal operation, the operator does not have access to hazardous voltages within the chassis. However, depending on the user’s application configuration, HIGH VOLTAGES HAZARDOUS TO HUMAN SAFETY may be normally generated on the output terminals. The customer/user must ensure that the output power lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that any inadvertent contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated.

Guard against risks of electrical shock during open cover checks by not touching any portion of the electrical circuits. Even when power is off, capacitors may retain an electrical charge. Use safety glasses during open cover checks to avoid personal injury by any sudden component failure.

Neither AMETEK Programmable Power Inc., San Diego, California, USA, nor any of the subsidiary sales organizations can accept any responsibility for personnel, material or inconsequential injury, loss or damage that results from improper use of the equipment and accessories.

Installation Manual - Rev D California Instruments

1. Introduction

This installation manual is provided in hardcopy format and contains information on the installation only of all power systems that use the MX Series power sources with the programmable controller.

All other MX Series manual are provided in Adobe Acrobat PDF format on CD ROM P/N CIC496. The CD ROM is included in the MX Series Shipkit.

1.1 General Description

The MX Series AC and DC power source systems are high efficiency, floor standing AC and DC power sources that provide a precise output with low distortion. Available voltage ranges are 150 Vac, 300 Vac and 400 Vac in AC mode and 200 Vdc and 400 Vdc in DC mode. The MX45-3Pi can operate in either single or three-phase mode. The MX45 is available in either single or threephase mode. All other models operate in three-phase mode.

Models with a -1 or -3 designation provide full front panel operation but do not include a RS232C or IEEE-488 remote control interface. An optional RS232C/IEEE-488 control interface can be added at the time of order however (-P) option. Models with the Pi controller offer several additional standard features, including the RS232C/IEEE-488 interfaces, arbitrary waveform generation, dual voltage ranges and additional measurement functions.

The MX Series units are contained in a compact floor standing enclosure on casters. This allows the units to be moved around more easily.

Read the installation instructions carefully before attempting to install and operate the MX Series power systems.

1.2 Manual organization and format

All user documentation for California Instruments power sources is provided on CDROM in electronic format. (Adobe Portable Document Format) The required Adobe PDF viewer is supplied on the same CDROM. This Installation manual is provided only in hardcopy form to ensure that the installation information is available to all MX users and installers.

To request a hardcopy of other MX Series manual from California Instruments, contact customer service at support@calinst.com. There will be an additional charge for printed manuals. You can also print these manuals directly from the included CD ROM.

2. Unpacking and Installation

2.1 Unpacking

Inspect the unit for any possible shipping damage immediately upon receipt. If damage is evident, notify the carrier. DO NOT return an instrument to the factory without prior approval. Do not destroy the packing container until the unit has been inspected for damage in shipment. If possible, retain the container (wooden crate) in the event the system ever has to be returned to the factory for either repair or upgrades

WARNING: This power source weighs approximately 1150 lbs / 522 Kg. Obtain

adequate help when moving the unit. Make sure the location (floor) in which the MX Series unit(s) will be installed can support the weight of the unit(s).

2.2 Power Requirements

The MX Series power Source has been designed to operate from a three-phase, three wire (Wye or Delta) AC input line. A protective earth connection is required as well. (PE).

Available three-phase input settings are 208 V (option -400), or 480 V

(option -480).

(option -208), 230 V

(option -230), 400 V

Figure 2-1: The MX45 Power Source

CAUTION: Do not connect 400 or 480V into a unit set for 208 or 230V unit, the result

could be a severely damaged unit. Always check the input rating on the model number tag before connecting AC input power. Consult factory if input settings have to be changed.
